?In the Studio,? Nebula?s Chris Kemp Wants Startups to Scale Efficiently

"In the Studio" opens its doors this week to a technologist who grew up tinkering with old Macs, dropped out of college to begin a career in technology, founded a few companies, and wound up as the Chief Technical Officer of NASA, where he oversaw the development of the Open Stack Project and has now left found a company in Palo Alto that aims to commercialize that technology in new ways. Chris Kemp co-founded Nebula to create an infrastructure and data systems solution for companies that, after reaching a certain scale, might want to offload some of their balance to a different solution and, in the process, save on those monthly Amazon Web Services bills. To hear Kemp describe it, Nebula looks similar to AWS and runs behind your own firewall in your own data center environment. For companies that reach a certain scale who can plan their growth with some reasonable certainty, a dependency on AWS can become costly.
